Blood Ocean / Spreaders split is the latest release of Grand Imperial Record Co.. Blood Ocean is an alias of John Milano, certainly a mysterious persona about whom I couldn't find anything on the internet. His first song, Claire, is mainly instrumental with some vocal samples. The beat is sincere hip-hop, backing track has that summer vibe with dreamy and cloudy melodies, so the song reminds me of 80's soap operas theme songs. Intensive vocal and catchy melody make the second song, Vampire, potential top-lists hit. Blood's genre is basement pop because it sounds like you're listening to someone rehearsing from the basement.
Spreaders are making different but truly attractive music. Their songs are prototypes of something that Grand Imperial defined as a future hyper-noize. Song Frank Peru would perfectly match some movie soundtrack with it's oriental moments. Pat Price reminds me of the sea waves which are heavily splashing stones making white, airy foam. Both songs are ambiental and dark, filled with mystic atmospheres, heavy drones and real life sounds.
This is a really interesting release and these guys can make it to the stars with their contemporary music, so you should give it a try.
